Keegan Bradley, another former major winner, partners with high school teammate Jon Curran

NEW ORLEANS, LA (April 17, 2019)—Henrik Stenson, winner of the Olympic silver medal and The Open Championship in 2016, will partner with Graeme McDowell in this year’s Zurich Classic, announced Steve Worthy, CEO of the Fore!Kids Foundation, producer of the tournament.

“Both these players have years of experience in Ryder Cup competition, so we expect them to be competitive in our team format,” said Worthy.

“Likewise, we welcome Keegan Bradley back to our tournament again, partnered with his former high school teammate Jon Curran,” Worthy said. “They have won twice in unofficial team events, so their games and chemistry seem to complement each other quite well,” said Worthy.

Both Stenson and McDowell are winners of major championships. Stenson won the 145thOpen Championship at Royal Troon in 2016 just prior to his success at the Summer Olympics that year when he won the silver medal. McDowell won the 2010 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach for his first victory on the PGA TOUR.

Stenson has won six times on the PGA TOUR, including a World Golf Championship title, The Players Championship and the 2013 TOUR Championship presented by Coca Cola to win the FedExCup that season. He has also claimed 13 international titles.

In 2018 he tied for second in the WGC-HSBC Champions and earned a fourth in the Arnold Palmer Invitational. That year he also finished fifth in the Masters, tied for sixth in the U.S. Open and won all three of his matches in the Ryder Cup.

This season his best finish was a tie for ninth in the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play.

In addition to playing on five Ryder Cup teams, Stenson also made four World Cup teams and three Royal Trophy squads. He was 3-0 in the 2018 Ryder Cup won by the European team. He is currently ranked 38thin the world.

Stenson and Rose tied for 19thin last year’s Zurich Classic, won by Billy Horschel and Scott Piercy. That tournament was the first on the PGA Tour to feature walk-up music selected by the players on the first tee during the weekend.

Partnered with Ian Poulter, McDowell finished 22ndin last year’s Zurich Classic. McDowell’s best finish in the Zurich Classic was a tie for 15thin 2006 after starting the tournament with a 64 in the first round to take the early lead.

McDowell won the Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship in March, his fourth PGA TOUR victory, to go with eight international titles he has won. He also finished seventh in the Valero Texas Open the week before the Masters.

He has played on four Ryder Cup teams, compiling a record of 8-5-2. He also played on five World Cup teams and competed for the Seve Cup twice.

As an amateur, he helped Great Britain and Ireland retain the Walker Cup in 2001 at Sea Island, Ga. At the University of Alabama-Birmingham, McDowell was ranked the top collegiate golfer in the United States, winning the 2002 Fred Haskins Award.

Bradley won the 2011 PGA Championship in his first year on the PGA TOUR, when he was named Rookie of the Year. He also won the Byron Nelson Championship that year and teamed with Brendan Steele to win the unofficial Franklin Templeton Shootout.

Bradley’s best finish in the Zurich Classic was a tie for eighth in 2014. His best finishes this season include a sixth in the World Golf Championships-HCBC Champions and a tie for tenth in the WGC-Mexico Championship.

He has won four times on the PGA TOUR, most recently last year’s BMW Championship in the 2018 FedExCup playoffs. In addition, he was won the CVS Health Charity Classic three times, twice with his Zurich Classic partner and high school teammate Jon Curran.

He made the U.S. Ryder Cup team twice, compiling a record of 4-1 in team matches. He also played on the Presidents Cup team once. He is currently ranked 33rdin the world.

Curran was the top-ranked player on the Hopkinton High School team with his good friend Bradley ranked second. They were part of the team that won the Massachusetts state championship in Bradley’s senior year by 28 strokes.

Curran went on to earn All-SEC and All-American honors at Vanderbilt in 2008-09 before turning pro. He enjoyed two solid years on the PGA TOUR in 2015-2016, losing playoffs for the 2015 Puerto Rico Open and the 2016 Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide.

In 2017, a rib injury sidelined him all the way through the current season, so the Zurich Classic will be his first start on the PGA TOUR in 2019.

The Zurich Classic is the only team tournament on the PGA TOUR season. Since launching the team format two years ago, the Zurich Classic of New Orleans has drawn some of the highest ranking fields for any regular-season tournament on the PGA TOUR. In 2018, the tournament field included six of the top ten players in the world; all four reigning major champions; the U.S. Ryder Cup captain and six members of the U.S. team along with the European Ryder Cup captain with four of his co-captains and six players on the victorious European team.

NEW ORLEANS, LA (April 5, 2019)—Two South Africans who have each won a major championship and more than a dozen international titles are pairing up again in the Zurich Classic, announced Steve Worthy, CEO of the Fore!Kids Foundation, producer of the tournament.

Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel took third place in the 2018 Zurich Classic. Last year was the first at the Zurich Classic for Schwartzel and the second for Oosthuizen, who had finished tied for 24thin the 2017 team event, playing with Branden Grace.

Louis and Charl have both won major championships and they have both enjoyed great success internationally,” said Worthy. “Their first partnership here last year resulted in a third place finish, so we expect they will be a team to reckon with again this year,” added Worthy.

Oosthuizen has been playing well recently, with a tie for fifth in last week’s World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play. Earlier in the season he tied for second in the Valspar Championship and tied for fifth in the CIMB Classic.

He is currently ranked 20thin the world. He won The Open Championship in 2010 for his only PGA TOUR title, but has claimed 13 victories on the European and South African tours. He lost playoffs for the Masters in 2012 and The Open Championship in 2015.

He also tied for second in the 2015 U.S. Open and the 2017 PGA Championship, becoming one of only seven players in PGA TOUR history to be a runner-up in all four majors. The others include Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Phil Mickelson, Tom Watson, Greg Norman and Craig Wood. Norman and Wood lost playoffs in each of the four major tournaments.

Oosthuizen has played on the last three International Presidents Cup teams, compiling a 5-3-2 record overall.

Schwartzel won his Masters title in 2011 by two strokes over Australians Jason Day and Adam Scott. His victory came 50 years after fellow countryman Gary Player became the first international winner of a green jacket.

In his career, Schwartzel has placed in the top 25 a total of 77 times on his PGA TOUR since 2005. In addition to his 2011 Masters title, he won the 2016 Valspar Championship. He has won another 13 tournaments on the European, Asian and South African tours.

His best finish this season was a tie for sixth in the Puerto Rico Open.

Schwartzel has played on the last four Presidents Cup teams and the 2011 World Cup team with Oosthuizen. In the 2011 Presidents Cup matches, he was one of four rookies on the International the team and went 3-1-1 in a losing cause against the Americans.
